Pre & Post RV Wise Considerations & Plans

Post by Cabo i posted this last year, and I just wanted to bring it forward again for people whom
OOM Forum j^^^y j^^yg j^^^ gggj^ ^Yiis. For those that did, please bear with me.

Things to consider with your new found wealth. Some items you will use, others
may not be for you. Do what you feel comfortable with, as I am just trying to help
you round out your plan.

Due Diligence Choose your bank (s) carefully, and set up CDARS (Certificates of Deposit Account
Registry Service) accounts and all accounts should be POD (Paid on Death)
accounts.

Do not deal with banks that have derivatives and hedge funds. Look for institutions
that have an AAA rating. Consider banks that hold multi-currency accounts.

For an added level of protection consider insuring your money with Lloyd's of
London. Even most brokerage accounts are fully insured.

Know Your Recognize that your government, both State and Federal are your biggest enemy to
Enemies securing your wealth, see a CPA, tax accountant and or tax attorney. Contact an

attorney / CPA or both that specializes in taxes, trusts, asset protection etc.

If you know someone who is wealthy, and I mean really wealthy, ask them. You can
also check here http://www.martindaleratings.com/av-preeminent-lawyers.htm Set
up your family's trust(s).

A Guide Set aside 15%-20% of your new wealth for your "mad money" and use this amount

for your flings into wealth. This is your payoff for your dreams and frustrations.

If you spend more than this on new homes, automobiles etc., you are on a well
known pattern of blowing it all. Of course this will depend on how much you have
invested and how much it RV's for.

Phone Privacy Get an unlisted telephone number. For your home, with caller ID. For a private home
phone, use a company name or your Trust when setting up a new phone account,
rather than your own. Keep things low key and quiet as you don't want long lost
friends and family members bothering you. Some will eventually find out, but you
need time to put your plan into action.

Continued on next page

Pre & Post RV Wise Considerations & Plans, Continued

Invest the remaining 80% -85% [after taxes] in safe high paying interest insured CD's
etc. You're in the big leagues now; banks will want your business. They have private
bankers and high wealth options for investing. That have proven track record. Again,
do your due diligence here.

And don't forget, you can look outside the US for good rates, Panama is paying up to
7% on large CD'S. Dubai is paying up to 10% on the same amounts, Check Cyprus as
they have been in the 10% bracket also. Pay the interest to a debit account, spend and
live on the interest with a Debit card.

These monies can be split up in multicurrency account to help keep depreciating
currencies from taking your earned monies. Depending on how much Dinar you have
to cash in, there could be a lot of interest; to be almost as exorbitant as you Uke,
living the life so to speak.

A lOM savings here or off shore could bring you interest of $700,000 to more than
IM a year in income. I am sure you could survive on that . . .lol Always do your due
diligence and seek professional help to setting these up.

Taxation Everything you buy will be taxed yearly either in Real estate taxes, sales taxes and or

personal property/ luxury taxes, and if you live in one of the States with State Income
taxes, you will pay the State on all interest earned and not to mention on the principal
amount when it is received initially.

Think about this statement.... Maybe move to a State that has the lesser of the
applicable taxes or no state taxes at all. All States are creating new taxes daily to
preserve their bloated bureaucracies under the guise of service.

Check with the professionals on this, but most states have guidelines on how long
you must live there before you can take advantage of the lower taxable income/ no
state taxes.

Survival Stock up provisions, necessities, medical and survival items to get you and your family

through any type of emergency. Get enough for 8-12 months. You will have the money.
Hopefully you won't need it, but you will be thankful if you/ family/ friends do...

Set aside enough liquid funds for you to survive for 8 months to 2 years. Whatever you
feel comfortable with.

insurance Upgrade your insurance; medical, personal/ life, home, auto and really consider getting
umbrella insurance it's cheap enough.

What to do First

Open a new secure email account (www.hushmail.com) to use before you call
bank 800# - only people that will have this email is the bank

They will ask your name (give first initial and last name) / for your email address.
Give them your "new" email unless you belong to a group. Tell them how much
you have to exchange and your zip code so they can direct you to the closest bank
for your exchange.

You will need to schedule an appointment with your bank to execute your
"Currency Exchange". Dial one of the following 1-800 numbers associated with
your bank of choice to schedule your appointment:

a. Bank of America - l-800-###-####

b. Wells Fargo - l-800-###-####

c. Chase- l-800-###-####

d. CitiBank - l-800-###-####

e. Fifth Third Bank - 1- 800-###-####

What is needed You will be asked to provide your name, your email address, and how much Dinar
(IQN) you will be exchanging and an appointment at your bank's nearest exchange
center will be made for you. Be able to provide how much of each currency you will
be exchanging. Go to page 111 for a Bank Record Sheet.

Additional information will be mailed to you. Make sure you have created a brand
new email address to use for all your banking. Make sure you arrive at your
appointment on time as there are an estimated 5 million private holders that will need
to perform their exchanges too and the U.S. Treasury expects to have the majority of
the exchanges completed within 7 days after the revaluation is announced.

What to Say During the exchange process, refer to your Dinar only as "IQN kaqi Currency" (i.e.

"Hello, my name is (your name) and I am here for my appointment to do my
"Currency Exchange" of my "IQN Iraq Currency" for US Dollars, please.").

If you are exchanging Vietnamese Dong, only refer to it as "VNN Vietnamese
Currency". I do not think an appointment is needed to exchange Dong, but the
recommendation is that you exchange both currencies at the same appointment.

When at the bank use the following statement: "I'm here to do an IQN / VNN
Currency Exchange."

DO NOT at any time refer to your currency as either Iraqi Dinar also referred to as
IQD or Vietnamese Dong VND. Be sure to use the "new" code symbols IQN / VNN.

What to do First, Continued

What to Say "N" stands for new.
(continued)

DO NOT say you want to do a cash out. Or if asked if you want to cash out, say "No."

Say: I'm here to do a CURRENCY EXCHANGE for my "IQN " currency and/or
"VNN" Vietnamese Currency.

You want to do your exchange at a bank with ABSOLUTE REAL-TIME, ON-SITE
VERIFICATION of the currency you are bringing in, where all currency
exchanges are instantly credited to your accounts without additional review or
unnecessary delay, that they have a wealth management division capable of serving
your banking and investment needs.

Non Disclosure Be prepared to sign a "Non-Disclosure Agreement" or an "NDA" that your currency
exchange and the exchange rate you are given will be kept completely private from
public discussion of any kind for a period of up to 10 years.

There really are no negotiations regarding the NDA. You sign it, you get your money,
you adhere to the restrictions it contains.

Set up your questions in advance along with your NDA and PA - privacy agreement.
You can find these on line and run by your attorney or have your attorney make them
for you.

]Vhy deposit into a NIB account? A NIB account should not trigger a taxable event or

reporting due to no reportable interest being accrued possibly providing additional
time to develop better tax strategies. It is also the recommended or suggested method
to provide a slightly higher level of privacy and security and maybe even insurance
coverage for those deposits.

During your exchange open up two new and separate "Non-interest bearing accounts"
(NIB's). Do NOT put your exchange funds into your existing savings or checking
accounts. These funds need to be kept separate for taxing and accounting purposes.
Also, if you are exchanging Vietnamese Dong, that currency exchange deposit should
also be kept in its own separate accounts.

What to do First, Continued

Account From your working account you should be able to further diversify your funds into a

Diversity variety of accounts. Remember that your money is your bargaining chip for the best

rates and perks. Be aware of "Sweep Fees" and "Exchange Spread fees" and how they
will impact your exchange. Google them. Some, most or even all of them can (up to
fees levied by the U.S. Treasury) be waived by the branch manager depending on how
much currency you are exchanging and depositing in the bank.

a. Checking

b. Savings

c. Expense accounts

d. Trusts

e. Money Market accounts

f. 770 Accounts

g. Payable on Death (POD) Accounts

h. CDARS (for FDIC insurance on amounts over $100K-$250K)

i. Business accounts
j. Foundations

k. Hard currency/assets (Gold/Silver)

1. Other monetary instruments

Cash Cash Withdraws at time of exchange are limited to $10,000. Some banks may not be

Withdrawals g^^^ handle more than $5,000 cash due to limited cash supply in the vault. You can
also ask for a debit card containing the $10,000 limit.

Wiring Funds DO NOT attempt to wire more than $500K from your account to another bank or
financial institution as this will trigger a "FLAG" event that might result in an
investigation or the "Freezing" of your accounts.

Precautions l. Do not park in the bank lot.

2. Go with someone to the bank; spouse, best friend who is a fellow Dinarian.

3. Know your rate before you go.

4. Watch your body language and the banker/tellers as well; everyone is watching
whether you want to believe it or not.

5. There is NO rush to cash in; supposedly many weeks and option days to have the
possible 15% tax advantage with no audits.

Money Matters Some of us will have assets to qualify for "Private Client Services" and possibly the

bank's "Wealth Manager" Services. Learn the difference and ask for the private banker
or bank manager to provide the following items. At Chase, the PCS was $250K; Wealth
Manager officially at $30 million although started giving services at $15million. This
varies by bank. Don 't be afraid to ask!

What You Should Know about P.O.D. Accounts
Q: What is a "P.O.D. account"?

A: "P.O.D." stands for "payable on death." A P.O.D. account is owned by one person
(called the owner) who has named another person (called the beneficiary) to receive any
money left in the account when the owner dies. A P.O.D. account may be a savings
account, checking account, or certificate of deposit at a bank, building and loan or
savings and loan association, credit union, or society for savings.

Q: Who can be the owner of a P.O.D. account?

A: A natural person, adult or minor, can be the owner of a P.O.D. account.
Corporations, partnerships and limited liability companies cannot be the owner of a
P.O.D. account.

Q: If I own a P.O.D. account, who controls the money in the account while I'm still
ahve?

A: You control the money. You can withdraw the entire amount if you wish. While you
are alive, the beneficiary has no right or interest in the account and cannot withdraw any
money from your account.

Q: Can I change the beneficiary after my P.O.D. account has been opened?

A: Yes. You have the right to change the beneficiary as often as you wish while you are
still alive and capable. However, it is important for you to contact your bank, because
no change of beneficiary is effective unless it is completed on the form used by the bank
in the manner designated by the bank.

Q: Does the beneficiary have to be a person? What about charities and other
organizations?

A: No, the beneficiary does not have to be a person. Under Ohio law, any entity or
organization can be named as a beneficiary of a P.O.D. account, including charities.

Q: Can I name more than one beneficiary at a time?

A: Yes, Ohio law allows you to name more than one beneficiary for your P.O.D.
account. However, you should determine whether your bank permits multiple
beneficiaries and if your bank has a special form to designate multiple beneficiaries.

Q: What happens to the money in my P.O.D. account when I die?

A: Any money in the account when you die will pass automatically to your beneficiary
or beneficiaries. As long as your designated beneficiaries survive you, the money will
not pass under your Last Will and Testament and will not be subject to administration in
the probate court.

770 Accounts A 770 account is a whole life savings policy that pays a dividend. It is also called a Life
Insurance Retirement Plan, or LIRP. It is also knovm as the President's Account. It was
reportedly introduced by Tom Dyson, a publisher at Common Sense Publishing, in the
Palm Beach Letter. According to Dyson, there is a secret type of bank account that has
been used by very wealthy people over several generations, including several US
Presidents. Apparently, it is a secret alternative to the known stock market, which
functions similarly to life insurance. This 770 Account is code-speak for a specially
designed Financial Instrument revealed by Nelson Nash called The Infinite Banking
Concept. It actually uses a specially designed Permanent Life Insurance policy with a Paid
Up Additions Rider that essentially does turn you into your own bank where you can
finance all of your own purchases and pay the interest back to yourself through these
specially designed policies.

This "770 account" is like a Permanent Life Insurance with a twist - it maximizes the
Life Benefit and not the Death Benefit. There are many factors that need to be in place
before the life insurance policy can turn into a "770 account." It has to be from a Mutual
Insurance company (Participating Whole Life Insurance), it needs to have a paid up
additions rider, you will need to be on the Modified Endowment Contract line (MEC) of
the policy, and it works better with non-direct recognition companies. When structured
correctly as a 770 account, you will get the following: No risk, guarantees, no penalties,
liquidity use and control of your money, protected from creditors, leverage, tax deferred
growth, tax free distributions, competitive rate of return, collateral, optional disability
benefits until age 65, and a Death Benefit that will go to the heirs tax free.

There are many insurance companies that can set up an account. However, there are just
about 7 companies in the USA that are the best for what you want to accomplish. You
can't go directly with the companies, but you will need to find a broker that is connected
with those companies. If he/she is a good broker, some time will be spent reviewing your
case and comparing results with all 5 companies to make sure you will get the best policy
or 770 account for you. You need to be careful because very few life insurance agents
know how to do these 770 accounts. You need special riders etc. Most importantly, the
federal government put a restriction on these accounts in the 80 's because they were
losing too much money on taxes! So now the government sets the maximum amount of
money you can put in these accounts based on the Death Benefit you are purchasing. So
you want to be right there on the maximum amount you can put to maximize your life
benefits (not your death benefit). But if you pass the maximum amount line, then it
becomes an MEC, which means that you lose the tax-free privilege.

770 Account

The Pirates of Manhattan By Barry James Dyke will tell you everything about 770
accounts: what it is, who uses it, how to use it, etc. There are many people that say they
can open a 770 account; but, few can really give you the best for the money you are
depositing into it. But if you want to just get more info on this account - you can read
that book - it is cheaper than subscribing to the Palm beach letter and you will get more
information - it is an excellent book.

Have you considered that your CE bank appointment will be the single most important
financial event of your entire life? Bigger than your house. For most, bigger than your
current net worth. Let that sink in. How much thought have you given to this CE?
What if everything you thought about this moment came apart on you in that short 20
minutes? HOW? Well, your first mistake may be failing to expect that Murphy's Law
works in the most unexpected places and events. Things can and will go wrong - unless
you've prepared yourself for the worst . When you walk into the bank, it would be best
if you anticipated not only the routine steps, but also what things could go against you.
The last thing you want are any bad surprises. In addition to the security issues for
getting your currency safely inside the bank, the next step may be another place you
could get robbed.

There are two areas where the banks are about to take advantage of you: the CE rate and
banking fees which include currency spreads (the lower price when you sell it back).
Anticipate that the exchange rate won't be what you thought when you left home. Could
it be higher? Probably never. Expect to be offered a lower CE rate. Street rates
fluctuate. But the contract rate is another story.

The second area you can expect to get screwed is the area of bank fees, the most
notorious being the currency spread. If you buy a car, you pay retail. Turn around and
sell it back to the dealer and he will only offer you wholesale. That's the currency
spread. If I were trading in the Forex market I would expect this. The RV is not a
Forex transaction. READ MY LIPS: WE WILL NOT PAY BANK SPREADS ON
THE RV Currency Exchange.

Normally nobody heads for the bank expecting to get robbed. But after the RV, your
CE experience at the bank can be less than ideal for your financial future unless you
have mentally prepared yourself for what's ahead. Would you shop for a car without
doing your homework? Buy a house? Are you prepared for a tougher negotiation than
both these combined? They aren't called "Banksters" for nothing. You're going to
need to be a mentally prepared negotiator!

Mentally
Prepared
Equals Mentally
Tough

Before you rationalize that a lower CE rate is okay, or that the spread cost isn't all that
much, remember that the banker isn't about to let you go out the door with your currency
still in hand. It's critical that you understand this point: Your ability to stand up and move
for the door is your one and only advantage. This is your negotiating leverage. Never
forget this. You must be mentally tough when you sit down with your banker to CE. I
don't know about you, but I'm going in with the full expectation that I'm NOT going to
pay for any spreads. Have a percentage in mind. Remember, 1% of your DINAR may
seem like a small amount, but that 1% now gets multiplied by the exchange rate. If you
exchange a million dinar at $5 (for a low example) that 1% is now $50,000 USD.
Multiply that by every million dinar you have, in addition to all the dinar that everybody
else has. That's a lot of money for the privilege of doing business with a banker. Think
about what that 1% will be at a higher CE rate! Never forget what interest rates the
banks are currently offering on your savings. It sure as heck isn't 1%.

Click here to read the 27 Simple Ways to become a Better Negotiator article provided
later in this book.

Equals Options

Mental So what do you do when the banker refuses to drop the spread? Do you cave? Do you

Toughness rationalize, "This is more than I would have had anyway."? Do you say, "This is better
than nothing."? It's your money. Remember, just like there's always another car lot, there
are a lot of banks willing to do business with you. Don't settle for less. You will not have
the POWER to negotiate the BEST deal unless you are prepared to stand up and head for
the next bank. Just like the car lot. Remember, the bank staff has been ordered to not
allow you to leave the bank with your money. YOU HOLD THE POWER OF DOING
THE DEAL YOUR WAY. But only if you're prepared to WALK.

How do You
Know You're
Not Getting
Screwed?

This is the most important question of our entire Dinar experience. Also the most
frustrating issue. We are being put at a great disadvantage by the PTB in case you haven't
noticed. Who or what is the only source of information on the real CE rate? When you
buy a car, do you believe the price on the window sticker or the price you get from the
sales guy? How about from his manager? How about the "factory invoice" they hand you
at the negotiating table? Do you really believe any of that? If you do, you paid too much
for your car. Haven't we all? Isn't this CE more important than buying a car? Remember,
rich people didn't get rich by giving their money to those who don't deserve it. Banks
don't deserve making spreads on the RV. (You can take that to the bank.) Put another
way, every dollar you save on spreads helps offset your tax payment. Why pay taxes
twice?

Tony is Our Let's face it, other than getting a contract CE rate quote direct from the UST, Tony is the
Blue Book most credible source in DinarNation. Period. Armed with that rate we're off to the races.

If UST is smart, they will ensure that the higher contract rate that Tony publishes will
remain in place until everyone has a chance to exchange. Why? Because if they don't,
there will be a stampede. It will be ugly. It will be the worst nightmare of the UST and
the banks. Who in their right mind would design a currency exchange procedure that
was first-come-gets-the-best-rate? It will be crazy. People become irrational when they
think they're about to lose money on the deal. It's imperative that the contract CE rate
remain stable for a period of time that gives every person a reasonable chance to CE
without fear of losing money.

Contract Rate!!

Don't Give Us a Remember: Prepare yourself to be a tough CE negotiator. If each of us puts our foot
^Ifi^-l'ii'^fJl-ii down and refuse to pay bank spreads, then it will be easier for the next person who
comes in to CE behind us. If the first ones to CE make it easy for the banks to take
advantage of us, it will only make it more difficult for the next guy to negotiate his best
rate. All for one, and one for all. We're all in this TOGETHER.

Using One This Viewpoint discusses how investors may reduce income taxes imposed on an

^^"'^ irrevocable trust while still using the trust to reduce estate and gift taxes due. In

(continued) particular, the paper discusses how an investor can combine wealth transfer rules with

the purchase of permanent life insurance to minimize taxes while transferring additional

wealth to heirs.

To review the various available services, click here.

The Power of
Gifting

For 2013, the combined lifetime gift and estate tax exemption is set at $5.25 million per
individual. Thus, a married couple can pass on a total of $10.5 million during life or at
death without any gift or estate tax. This amount is in addition to the gift tax exclusion that
permits a donor to make annual gifts of up to $14,000 to an unlimited number of donees.)

The high lifetime gifting exemption provides a significant wealth transfer opportunity. If a
donor gives away $5.25 million now, the gift can appreciate during the remainder of the
donor's life. By the time the donor dies, the gift may have increased substantially in value.
Yet that full amount will be entirely free of federal estate tax.'

Typically an investor wishing to make a large gift to children or grandchildren will put the
gifted amount in an irrevocable trust, rather than giving it to heirs outright. Use of a trust
lets the investor control the later distribution of the assets, keeping them away from heirs
who, due to youth or inexperience, might squander them.

Investment Your Private Wealth Advisor will craft detailed, comprehensive strategies based on a wide

lUlanagement variety of considerations, including your timeline, risk threshold, tax situation, personal

To Sign or Not You decide which is best for you.
to Sign

NOTICE OF EXPIRATION OF THE TEMPORARY FULL FDIC INSURANCE
COVERAGE FOR NONINTEREST-BEARING TRANSACTION ACCOUNTS

By operation of federal law, beginning January 1, 2013, funds deposited in a
noninterest-bearing transaction account (including an Interest on Lawyer Trust Account)
no longer will receive unlimited deposit insurance coverage by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Beginning January 1, 2013, all of a depositor's accounts
at an insured depository institution, including all noninterest-bearing transaction
accounts, will be insured by the FDIC up to the standard maximum deposit insurance
amount ($250,000), for each deposit insurance ownership category.

For more information about FDIC insurance coverage of noninterest-bearing transaction
accounts, visit http://www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/unlimited/expiration.html

To Sign Signing the NDA is required in order to get the contract rate.

It is VERY important to sign the NDA if you don't want the banks to risk LOSING your
money when they play their "games" with it. They offer interest in EXCHANGE for
their ability to LEVERAGE your deposits.

Not to Sign The insurance would never cover all of the deposit accounts. There simply isn't enough
coverage available. They have up to 99 years to repay lost/stolen money.

New As of the week of February 10, 2014, there are currently three cash exchange options.

Developments j^i^ f^^^^ option is the street rate of somewhere around $4 and requires no NDA and is
not subjected to taxes. The second option is the contract rate of somewhere around $15
It is subject to and NDA and it is subject to 50% taxes on the income from your capital
gains. The third option is the highest rate of somewhere around $32. It is subject to an
NDA and is subject to 100% taxes on the income from your capital gains.

It is important to remember that definite rates have not been released. That is why
"somewhere around" is used each time. Additionally, terminology is everything. Be
sure to use the term "investment" as opposed to the term "income". It could be the
difference in the tax rate you pay.

Managing Your Wealth

You will need to engage professionals who can help you manage your new wealth.
The bank has private bankers who can navigate you through the process. Other
professionals include:

• Wealth Manager

• CPA

• Tax Attorney

It is highly advised that you use multiple banks. There are insurance limitations and
the perks vary depending on the financial institution. Decide how much Dinar you
will be exchanging at one institution, and have all your documentation on hand. I
plan on the bank person signing his/her name/date/name of bank on each receipt at
time of deposit to keep for tax records along with proof of deposit.

Account Setup new "holding" accounts to accept either an on-site CURRENCY

Security EXCHANGE or to accept wires from reserve dealers or both.

Each foreign currency will be deposited into it's own "new" clean account. Next
the funds are "Swept" from account #1 to the second "Holding" account... then the 1st
account is closed immediately to prevent charge backs, hacking or other frauds. ..this
adds an additional layer of privacy and security.

The other reason you are doing this is that the bank is required to report the opening
of Account #1 to the federal government and that information can find its way into
the public domain; however, the bank is NOT required to report intra-bank transfers
between accounts. What this does is effectively eliminate your digital trail so that
nobody outside of the bank knows how much money you have on deposit and, more
importantly, whether or not you are a good target for cyber hijacking of your money.

For additional privacy/security flag all accounts as "access restricted to non-
essential bank personnel " and tagged as "Non-test/Non-Training" Accounts to

prevent banks from using your accounts for new staffs training purposes where funds
can get lost.

Next, open up a 3rd account for each currency and sweep 55% (projected state
and fed tax) into new tax escrow account. Pay state taxes to get the fed tax
deduction for 2013 and 11% of fed tax. We don't know what the tax on the dinar
will be yet as supposedly there is a bill in congress to make the tax for the dinar 11%.
Under current 2013 tax law anything in excess of $200 from a foreign currency
exchange is considered Capital Gains tax. 43.4% for short term and 23.8% for long

Account tenn. Talk to a good tax attorney first to work out how much taxes to pay as there are

Security tax-free investments available to help defer taxes owed (i.e. tax-free annuities, T-

(continued) Bills, municipal-bonds).

Alaska, Washington, Florida, Texas, Wyoming, Tennessee and Nevada have no state
income tax.

Add a P.O.D. (Pay on Death) clause to each account and signature card. You

will need to name/designate a person that can access that money if you're dead
without the state probate interference. This is considered a "poor man's" trust where
you can list your beneficiaries on the account and upon your death funds go directly
to your beneficiaries without having to go through probate.

Use cashier checks from account #2 to diversify funds by spreading deposits
equally over a couple, several or many different banks, credit unions and
investment vehicles to manage risk. Negotiate third-party deposit insurance on all
balances at every deposit location and account... maybe the bank will pay the
premium? It's an insurance policy premium based of the banks credibility and
stability.

Eventually all holding accounts will likely be in the trust's or LLC's name (not yours)
with you or an appointee as the trustee/manager.

For liquidity put money into a MCA (multi-currency account) i.e. Canadian dollar,
Brazilian real BRL, Singapore dollar, Australian dollar, Swiss franc, Hong Kong
dollar, IQN, Great British pound or foreign currency of a country you travel too. You
can get a credit card for travel while having currency available where you travel to.
HSBC is an international bank that may be a good choice to set up a MCA with. Or
get hold of hard currency you can keep in a personal safe along with your gold.

Set up a secret verbal password that only you and your private banker know. You
will use this password to do remote banking by phone when needed.. .like lifting a
spending limit on debit cards or secure transfers of funds for purchases or
investments.

Any funds in bank accounts over 250k need to have additional insurance. For
example, Lloyds of London does not cover checking accounts but do for other
things - Abbott Downing with WF for accounts with over 50M$. Consider
immediately insuring funds in your accounts until you transfer them over to other
investment vehicles.

Spread Fees When it comes to foreign currencies, Bank Personnel will always tell you "We will not
charge you a fee if you have an account with us" but that isn't exactly the entire truth,
because Banks actually have two (2) levels of fees they charge for services rendered.

These 2 fees are:

1) - Fees charged to the Public who do not have an account.

2) - Fees charged to their Customers who do have an account.

Customers DO NOT have to pay the fees that the PubUc pay, whereas the Public has to
pay BOTH the Public fees and Customer fees. Some of the fees Customers are accustom

to not being charged are for services like obtaining a Bank-drafted Money Order or
Cashier Check, free use of the Bank's Notary to validate documents, cashing of a
paycheck or government check, etc. All of these 'services' have a fee to the general
PubUc because they are not an account holder. However, when it comes to something
like exchanging currency from foreign country into US Dollars, the Public is charged the
Service Fee of around $15 as well as the Spread Fee on each unit of the currency
exchanged. When Bank Personnel tell you "We will not charge you a fee if you have an
account with us" they are talking about that $15 service fee only.

What is a spread fee?

A spread fee is a fee the Bank will charge you to exchange another country's currency
into the currency used in the country in which you are located. For these examples, we
will use the US Dollar (USD) as the currency and USA as the Country in which you are
located, and the Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) as the foreign currency being exchanged for US
Dollars at a US Bank.

In the US, the KWD is considered to be an "Exotic Currency" just as is the Iraqi Dinar
(IQN), whereas currencies such as the Canadian Dollar (CAD) are considered to be a
"Popular Currency" and the spread fees reflect the difference on these two currency
classifications greatly. For this explanation, one CAD dollar (as listed at www.xe.com)
will be valued at $1.02015/ USD, and the KWD will be valued at $3.59712/USD.

Using the Wells Fargo Bank Web site currency chart at
http://www.wellsfargo.com/foreignexchange (Click on "ORDER FOREIGN
CURRENCY then click on the TODAY'S RATES Tab to access the rates page and
charts) we can see that they will 'sell to you' CAD and KWD (Click on the ALL
CURRENCIES Tab to see the KWD), and it is easy to calculate what the spread fees are
using this page and comparing the rates to the actual value of the currencies shown at:
http://www.xe.com

Continued on next page

-45 -

Managing Your Wealth, Continued

Spread Fees Again, for this example, one CAD dollar (as listed at xe.com) is valued at $1.02015 USD,
(continued) ^nd the KWD is valued at $3.59712 USD, and on the Wells Fargo chart these two currencies

are listed at what they will sell them to you at; 1- CAD at $1.0232 USD and

1- KWD at $4.0846 USD

1- CAD at $1.0232 USD minus $1.02015 USD (actual value) = $0.00305 USD (Spread Fee)
1- KWD at $4.0846 USD minus $3.59712 USD (actual value) = $0.48748 USD (Spread Fee)

See the difference?

Wells Fargo will charge you $0,003 US-Cents (under 1/3 of a US-Cent) to buy 1 -Canadian
Dollar from them, but will charge you $0.49 US-Cents to buy 1 -Kuwait Dinar.

At smaller State or Regional Banks, these Spread Fees are even greater; for example, when
the First Convenience Bank in Texas were buying and selling the KWD currency the spread
fee they were charging was about $0.60 US-Cents to both Buy and Sell the KWD through
them, and the spread fee they were charging was about $0.06 US-Cents to both Buy and Sell
the CAD through them. This is part of the reason you want to deal with the Big-4 Banks
instead of the smaller or State-only banks. The Big-4 Banks are Bank of America (BOA),
J.P. Morgan Chase (Chase), Wells Fargo (WF), and Citibank (Citi).

Upon revaluation of the IQN most expect the value will be close to the KWD, so let's start
doing some math with the Wells Fargo $0.48748 US-Cent Spread Fee and for example
purposes let's say that 1- IQN revalues at $3.60 USD. If you have 100,000 IQN, to exchange
that many IQN with a spread fee of $0.48748 US-Cents per 1-IQN you would be paying
$48,748.00 to Wells Fargo to change your IQN into USD

100,000 X $3.60 = $360,000.00 (Nice Profit for You!)
100,000 X $0.48748 = $48,748.00 (Nasty Bank Fees!)

You receive $31 1,252.00 after paying the Bank's Spread Fees. This is also the number you
will be taxed on.

NOTE: None of this is held as secret from the public, except when or if any one given
Bank Manager decides to keep it a secret from you. It is these 'Spread Fees' that you
can get some Banks to forgive or cancel - But only if you ask them to forgive them.

NOTE: The United States Treasury (UST) also charges a spread fee on foreign currency
exchanges done at all Banks, and Banks CAN NOT forgive or cancel the UST spread fee.
The UST spread fees are between 1% and 1.4% - That equals between $0,036 cents and
$0.0504 cents using the $3.60 IQN example above.

Continued on next page

Managing Your Wealth, Continued

Spread Fees At $3.60 per 1-IQN, 100,000 IQN = $360,000.00 X $0,036 (1%) = $3,600.00 (UST
(continued) Spread Fees)

At $3.60 per 1-IQN, 100,000 IQN = $360,000.00 X $0.0504 (1.4%) = $5,040.00 (UST
Spread Fees)

That is certainly a lot easier to swallow than paying almost $50,000 in Bank's Spread
Fees. This is where we want to save. Taxes are inevitable, so do not try to circumvent
the taxes, look to reduce the spread fees that banks charge. This is where you will save
money.

Six Asset Protection Strategies to Shield Your Wealth

Have you heard of the homeless man who was sued for $5.5 milUon? Of course you haven't.
Lawsuits aren't filed against those with few assets; they are filed against those with "deep pockets."
If you have substantial assets or are coming into a windfall from a sudden wealth event such as an
inheritance, lawsuit, stock options sale, business sale or from a sports/entertainment contract, there
are several money moves you should consider to best protect your new wealth against lawsuits and
from others.

Increase your

liability

insurance

Your first line of defense in litigation should be insurance. Call your insurance broker
and increase your liability limits. Make sure your personal umbrella liability
coverage is for an amount at least equal to your new net-worth. For example, if you
are going to receive $3 million from your Aunt Jane's estate, tell your insurance
broker that you want a $3 million umbrella liability policy. Rates are inexpensive -
often $200 or $300 per $1 million of coverage. Bruce Givner, a Los Angeles tax
attorney, recommends that his clients have a minimum of a $5,000,000 umbrella
policy, and most of them opt for $10,000,000.

Tip; It's best to make this five minute phone call before you receive the inheritance
or windfall. Why Lottery Winners Crash After A Big Win Robert Pagliarini. What
Are The Wealthiest Families Doing About Asset Protection? Part I Todd Ganos.

Consider Depending on the state in which you live and the source of your windfall, if you

keeping assets deposit the money into a joint account with your spouse, this money could instantly
separate become half theirs. For some, this isn't an issue, but for others, this could pose a

problem. For example, if you have children from a previous marriage and commingle
an inheritance you receive with your new spouse, your children may get less than you
expect when you pass away. This problem becomes even more damaging if you are
contemplating a divorce.

Tip; If you don't want your spouse to have ownership of your windfall, talk to an
attorney and keep the assets in a separate account.

Protect If you have rental property or expect to invest in rental property after receiving your

yourself from sudden wealth, create a business entity such as an LLC or corporation to shield your
other assets from a disgruntled tenant. By doing this, if your renter sues you for $5
million, they can attack the assets in the entity that holds the real estate but the rest of
your personal assets are protected.

Tip; Create a separate business entity for each rental property or consider a Nevada or
Delaware Series LLC, which is designed to protect each property within a single LLC.

Six Asset Protection Strategies to Shield Your Wealth, Continued

Review all
jointly held
accounts

Any money you deposit into a joint account with your children, elderly parents,
roommate, or business partner is at risk. If the joint owner files for divorce, incurs a
tax lien, or lawsuit judgment, the entire account could be wiped out.

Tip: If there is a need for a joint account, keep the balance as low as possible.

Formalize

informal

partnerships

Business partnerships are ticking time bombs. Why? Just like joint accounts, you are
responsible for the actions of your partner. But unlike a joint account, a lawsuit
against your partner can put all of your assets at risk. For example, suppose you and a
friend have an informal agreement to partner and provide consulting services. If your
partner is involved in an accident on the way to a client, your personal assets can be in
jeopardy.

Tip: Avoid partnerships. Form an entity such as an LLC or corporation to provide you
with legal protection.

Create
business
entities to
shield assets

If you have a small business or do part-time work on the side without having a formal
business structure such as an LLC or a corporation, you are operating as a sole
proprietorship. The "sole" means it's just you, so unlike a partnership, you don't have
to worry about a partner's actions . . . but all of your personal assets are at risk if you
are sued.

Tip: Create a business entity that shields your personal assets from lawsuits against
your company.

Resource Sudden wealth can be a life-changing experience that can improve your life and the

lives of those around you, but only if you keep it. Those with more assets are bigger
targets for lawsuits. Don't let your sudden wealth suddenly get stripped from you.
Protect your assets before you get the windfall and you will sleep a little easier
knowing your assets are better shielded.

Account Security & Growth

After your funds are transferred to an account you designate, consider moving them again within a
short time to a new account with a different number so that the original transferring agency will not
know your new account number for greater security while you are deciding what to do with your
funds long term.

If you plan on keeping your financial records on a computer think about buying a new one that
never gets connected to the internet. Then your information can not get hacked and your passwords
are safe.

Do as much business as you can personally reducing the risk of your information getting into the
wrong hands by doing business online.

Computer Safety

Your New There are hundreds of computer vendors available. You must always fortify your system of
Laptop choice with top-of-the-line security software.

Tips & 1. Always backup your PC to an outboard hard drive frequently. Keep that drive in a

Strategies secure place in case your PC is stolen, crashes, etc.

2. Do not send email using Outlook or similar products. It is easily hacked.

3. Do use an anonymous email address. They do not send email to your normal email
address. All email is security maintained behind private access secure servers.
These are most often obtainable from your email provider. Mine provide five
anonymous addresses at no charge.

4. You could use your regular email system to send and receive email such as Outlook
if you use encryption between you and your receiver but that process is a pain as it
must set for you and everyone you communicate with individually on a case by case
basis. Not a recommended way to go.

5. Do not use wireless at home unless you have set up a secure connection between
your wireless device (iPad, phone, etc) and your router. If it not secure, it is easily
hacked.

6. Never use wireless on an open wireless system such as you might find in a coffee
shop. It is not secure and therefore easily hacked.

7. Do use only a "hard wire" connection.

8. Do use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). And use a reputable certificate authority.
This technique is used by most companies that allow employees to work from home,
connecting the company's computer. A suggestion to obtain these is a website
CNET.COM. CNET will show you their reviews, number of downloads. (Search
their site for "VPN" - suggestions are "Free VPN" or "Hotspot Shied"). Many
downloads are free. Certificate authorization providers are usually a fee for service
and must be renewed periodically. Pay for them. Search the web for them. Or go to
a secure site to check theirs. If secure the web address will start with HTTPS rather
than HTTP. To check what they are using, right click on the lock icon in the address
line. That will tell the encryption level (minimum of 128-bit encryption and a
connection using TLS 1.0) and certificate provider. Try using your bank address.
Their choice of certificate provider is usually a good one to choose.

9. Note that Google Chrome in a frequently monitored by the three letter government
agencies. Use another browser (Firefox is an example). Internet Explorer is so
popular it is a favorite of hackers.

10. Consider using LifeLock. It is more the worth the fees.

Computer Safety, Continued

You will need two pieces of equipment.

1 . A Router that meets your equipment's specifications

2. A wireless to Ethernet Bridge also known as a WiFi Media Connector.

Step

Action

1

Plug the wireless bridge into your computer and get it to connect to
the wireless network in range.

2

After the wireless bridge is connected to the network, plug the
Ethernet wire from your computer to the WAN side of your router.

3

Connect ALL of your devices to your router.

4

Sign up for and utilize a secure VPN service.

This setup will share the wireless signal from the public wireless Local Area Network
(LAN) while shielding your computer. All that the public LAN will see is your router as
a computer. Access any files or anything else on your computer is blocked because the
router is acting as a firewall. Examples of public WIFI are hotels, libraries, restaurants
and airports.

Now, your computer and other devices are safe from prying eyes. To ensure your
security while on the internet, use an HTTPS connection. The S indicates that you are on
a secured network. A pad lock icon confirms that you are on a secured network. Don't
enter any username and passwords or make any purchases without verifying that you
have a secured connection FIRST.

While carrying two additional pieces of hardware may be cumbersome, without them
your system is wide open to all sorts of attacks. Security is not meant to be convenient
nor easy. If it was convenient or easy everybody would do it. It's your decision to secure
yourself on an open network or not to secure yourself on said network.

Best Buy carries both wireless bridges and routers. The Wireless Bridge starts around
$50 and the Router starts around $50. Remember to only use secure sites when you
submit usemames and passwords. Routers won't encrypt the data transmitted from your
computer, you need other software and services for that but it will help to prevent people
from browsing into your system and using your system.

The Dangers of Online Internet Banking

Online internet banking has created a convenient way for us to handle our business without leaving
our home. There are inherent dangers associated with internet banking. Here are a few things to
watch out for.

Hacking Most banks have safeguards against hacking, but your personal computer may not

have the sophisticated technology that the banks incorporate. If you don't have a good
spy-ware detection and elimination program installed on your computer then you
could be advertising your personal information to those who will do harmful things
with it. Be sure your computer is up to date and safe against hacker attacks.

One of the lesser thought about dangers is the actual information. Many banks offer
up to the minute transaction activity, and others don't. It's a slippery slope if we start
relying on the balance information shown on our internet accounts; we could easily
overdraft our accounts. Many people will toss out the check registers, and with debit
cards, this can be very easy to forget to update them if we do keep them.

Secure Logins You need to make sure that your bank has completely secure log in areas. It's
unfortunately not uncommon to end up with a virus that redirects browser to a
mirrored site. These sites can look identical to the banks sites. Many sites that hold

sensitive information have included extra security measures that are hard to mimic.
Even though they are hard to mimic they aren't fool proof. Ensure you know the
banks log in address and that your browser was pointed there before you log in. Also
keep your virus protection up to date to help avoid this

Chances are your bank will not ask for secure information through an email. If you
receive an email from your bank asking you to log in, don't click the link provided in
the email. Instead open a new browser window and log in to your banking account
that way. One of the easiest ways for your information to be compromised is to click a
link and enter your information on a site that looks like your banks but actually isn't.

The Dangers of Online Internet Banking, Continued

Fly by Night
Banks

A simple internet search can reveal thousands of banks you've probably never heard
of offering high interest rates accounts with very little deposit required. The problem
with this is that you are putting your personal information, and your money, in
danger by signing up for these. Be leery of any account offering high interest rates
and very little customer service. These companies may only exist to steal your
information, and will disappear when they've done that.

Usernames and
Passwords

It's tempting to use one username and password for all your online accounts, but this
really isn't smart. If an email account is hacked, then the person who got the
information now has all the information they need to steal your money from under
your nose. You need to change your usernames and passwords frequently.

Great Ways to DO NOT TAKE THIS PERSONALLY; IT'S ALL ABOUT BUSINESS AND

Protect Your YOUR SECURITY!

Privacy

1* Law of The first law of privacy is: Keep one's mouth closed, particularly when one is in

Privacy public, on the phone, or sending faxes or e-mail.

In fact, electronic communications are now so vulnerable to interception by
government agencies, private investigators, and other snoops, that one shouldn't say
anything in these communications you wouldn't want published on the front page of
the New York Times or recorded by the IRS. One can now get hacked into from your
printer. Use separate computers and printers. One for on-line and one for off-line.

No Flaunting Don't flaunt one's wealth. If you own a fancy home, make sure it looks as modest as
possible from the outside. Buy cars under $75,000; ok to pay cash for home or
apartment under 1 mil.

The IRS regularly searches car-purchase and property records. If they suspect tax
evasion - real or imagined - they can freeze your assets, and seize your car and home.

Continued on next page

-63-

Personal Protection & Privacy, Continued

No Flaunting When traveling overseas, you have to be even more careful. Driving a fancy car or
(continued) dressing like a "rich" American - i.e., the way you normally dress - can make you a

target for robbers, kidnappers and anti -American terrorists. Also limit your credit
card use. Every time you use your credit card, thieves could steal the number and
rack up huge charges.

It could take months or even years to get it all sorted out. stick with a car no higher
than a LEXUS, to 75k, or one's draws serious attention.

Shred Old Shred or bum important documents. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that it's 100%

Documents legal for snoops to rummage through your curbside trash and keep any papers they
find - including bank and credit-card statements, utility bills, letters from Social
Security or other government agencies, information from your stock broker, etc.

Make sure to use a cross-cut shredder ($100-$150) which reduces documents to
confetti, rather than a less-expensive shredder that cuts paper into strips which can be
pasted back together. For ultra-sensitive documents, nothing beats burning them.

Isolate Isolate sensitive computer files from snoops. As we use our computers more and

Computer Files more to keep sensitive records and correspondence, it becomes more important to

protect them from snoops. The #1 threat to your sensitive files is your modem, fax, or
DSL Internet connection - anj^hing that electronically connects your computer to the
outside world.

Thanks to cookies, e-mail wiretaps, and other techniques, when you're browsing the
web or reading your e-mail, snoops at the other end can download files from your
computer hard drive. The only sure way to protect yourself is by keeping all
sensitive information on a different computer (or at least a different hard drive with
its own, separate operating system) than the computer you use for web browsing.

In other words, you use Computer #1 to browse the web and send e-mail; and you
use Computer #2 for word processing, accounting, and storing important information.
Computer #1 has no important files or sensitive information.
Computer #2 has no electronic connection to the outside world. To minimize
expenses, your two computers can share the same keyboard and monitor, by the
addition of a network hub (about $100).

Warning : Now as of 1 1/1 1 printers can now be hacked into! !

Continued on next page

Personal Protection & Privacy, Continued

Keep your web browsing and e-mail private. Whenever you contact a company or
organization on the Internet, the computer at the other end will often insert a "cookie"
into your computer - enabling merchants and government agencies to keep track of
your web browsing.

The information that can be collected about you in this way is absolutely mind-
boggling and includes your name, address, phone number, and detailed information
on the type of computer you are using, your Social Security number, and credit-card
numbers, a list of your friends and business contacts, and much more.

Go to page 105 to view private email providers.

KEEP YOUR HOME ADDRESS & PHONE# PRIVATE! This is the single MOST
IMPORTANT step you can take to protect your privacy though all items within this
POST are urgent for your welfare. Government snoops can't nose around your home,
bug your computer, or listen in on your calls, if they don't know where you live or
your phone number.

To keep your home address private, rent or buy your home in the name of an out-of-
state corporation (Delaware and Nevada corporations are best). Also put your utilities
in the name of the corporation, as well as your phone, and magazine and newspaper
subscriptions.

This is precisely what TV personalities, professional athletes, and film stars do to
protect their privacy. And it's not expensive. A Delaware corporation can be set up
for as little as $150 and maintained for $50 a year!

Take your names off your local country tax rolls and replace your name with
"property Owner". This is crucial! ! !

Home Phones For a private home phone, use a company name when setting up a new phone

account, rather than your own, and make sure and get caller ID, complete blocking.
To add a further level of phone privacy, purchase a prepaid cell phone - such as those

Municipal bonds are bonds issued by state and local government agencies. The
federal government exempts the interest income from federal income taxes. The idea
behind this is that since the money from the bond issue is going to fund

infrastructure or needed government services, the federal government supports the
state and local government by making the interest income free of federal taxation.

The tax-free status allows the issuing government agency to borrow money at a
lower interest rate. Investors buy these tax-free issues because on a tax-equivalent
basis the returns are at or above the interest rate they would earn on a comparable-
risk taxable bond. You can use this tax-equivalent yield calculator to compare the
yield on a municipal bond investment with the yield on a taxable bond investment.

The federal government encourages state and local governments to invest in public
projects and services. The issuing agencies benefit by paying lower interest rates,
and investors get tax-free interest income. In most states, buying municipal bonds
issued by government agencies in your home state will also exempt the interest
income from state taxes. (Sometimes called double tax-free bonds) This gets
municipal investors to invest in bonds issued by government agencies in their state
of residence because the tax-equivalent yield is even higher.

What is a Trust?

Many people who have Dinar have considered a Trust as a means of protecting or
distributing funds they receive. There are many types of Trust, some are excellent for
specific purposes, before you get a Trust (and there are many types all with different
rules) you need to know exactly what you want to achieve.

The law of trusts is voluminous and often complicated, but generally it is concerned
with whether a trust has been created, whether it is a public or private trust, whether it
is legal, and whether the trustee has lawfully managed the trust and trust property. A
trust may be created for the financial benefit of the person creating the trust, a
surviving spouse or minor children, or a charitable purpose. Though a variety of trusts
are permitted by law, trust arrangements that are attempts to evade creditors or lawful
responsibilities will be declared void by the courts. If you are attempting to decrease
liability and want to help others a better option is probably the Unincorporated
Church/Ministry since it is outside the jurisdiction of government (that's what Un-
incorporated means), and it enjoys the separation of Church & State. Trust Defined
(noun): "an entity created to hold assets for the benefit of certain persons or entities,
with a trustee managing the trust (and often holding title on behalf of the trust). Most
trusts are founded by the persons (called trustors, settlors and/or donors) who execute a
written Declaration of Trust which establishes the trust and spells out the terms and
conditions upon which it will be conducted. The Declaration also names the original
trustee or trustees, successor trustees, or means to choose future trustees. The assets of
the trust are usually given to the trust by the creators, although assets may be added by
others. During the life of the trust, profits and, sometimes, a portion of the principal
(called "corpus") may be distributed to the beneficiaries, and at some time in the future
(such as the death of the last trustor or settlor) the remaining assets will be distributed
to beneficiaries."

State statutes and court decisions govern the law of trusts. The validity of a trust of real
property is determined by the law of the state where the property is located. The law of
the state of the permanent residence (domicile) of the settlor frequently governs a trust
of Personal Property, but courts also consider a number of factors — such as the
intention of the settlor, the state where the settlor lives, the state where the trustee lives,
and the location of the trust property — when deciding which state has the greatest
interest in regulating the trust property.

What is a Trust?, Continued

As a general rule, personal property can be held in a trust created orally. Express
trusts of real property, however, must be in writing to be enforced. When a person
creates a trust in his will, the resulting testamentary trust will be valid only if the
will itself conforms to the requirements of state law for wills. Some states have
adopted all or part of the Uniform Probate Code, which governs both wills and
testamentary trusts.

The person who creates the trust is the settlor. The person who holds the property
for another's benefit is the trustee. The person who is benefited by the trust is the
beneficiary, or cestui que trust. The property that comprises the trust is the trust res,
corpus, principal, or subject matter. For example, a parent signs over certain stock to
a bank to manage for a child, with instructions to give the dividend checks to him
each year until he becomes 21 years of age, at which time he is to receive all the
stock. The parent is the settlor, the bank is the trustee, the stock is the trust res, and
the child is the beneficiary.

A fiduciary relationship exists in the law of trusts whenever the settlor relies on the
trustee and places special confidence in her. The trustee must act in Good Faith with
strict honesty and due regard to protect and serve the interests of the beneficiaries.
The trustee also has a fiduciary relationship with the beneficiaries of the trust.

A trustee takes legal title to the trust res, which means that the trustee's interest in
the property appears to be one of complete ownership and possession, but the trustee
does not have the right to receive any benefits from the property. The right to benefit
from the property, known as equitable title, belongs to the beneficiary.

The terms of the trust are the duties and powers of the trustee and the rights of the
beneficiary conferred by the settlor when he created the trust.

Within this section of the United WE Grow website you will find information on
different types of Trust. For the Dinaritarian the main thing to know is that there are
still tax liabilities upon cash-in when using a Trust, after cash-in a Trust may be
useful, especially for leaving wealth to others upon your demise, for charitable
purposes, or providing educational funds. Again, if your objective is to be charitable
we highly suggest you look in to the Unincorporated Minis

From a tax perspective, one of the best funding vehicles for an irrevocable trust is
permanent life insurance, which can minimize both income and estate taxes while
enhancing greatly the amount passed on to heirs. Increases in the cash value inside a life
insurance policy are not subject to income tax. When the insured dies, the life insurance
pays out a death benefit that is a multiple of the amount paid in premiums. And that death
benefit is not subject to income tax. Thus, by investing trust assets in a life insurance
policy, a donor can transfer significant assets to heirs entirely income and estate tax free.
Irrevocable trusts funded with life insurance are so common they are given a special
name: "ILITs", or "irrevocable life insurance trusts."

One of the best funding vehicles for an irrevocable trust is permanent life insurance.

Life insurance also can provide needed liquidity to heirs when an estate holds assets that
cannot easily be sold at full value, such as a family owned business. Without liquidity at
death, heirs who otherwise would continue the family business might have to sell it to pay
estate taxes due. The business owner's purchase of life insurance through an ILIT can
provide heirs with tax-free funds to offset the tax due on the estate, keeping the business
intact.

To provide liquidity in the case of married couples, "second-to die" life insurance is often
used. A second-to-die policy pays at the death of the second spouse, when the estate tax is
due. (The first spouse to die can escape estate tax by transferring assets to the surviving
spouse; estate tax rules permit unlimited tax-free transfers between spouses.) Second-to-
die insurance is typically less expensive than traditional life insurance.

A donor may fund the ILIT with an amount up to the lifetime gift tax exemption
(currently $5.25 million) without triggering gift taxes. As an alternative, a donor may fund
an ILIT with annual gifts within the annual gift tax exclusion amount (currently $14,000
per donee or trust beneficiary). These gifts are then used to pay annual premiums on the
policy.

There are other means available to fund an ILIT. For instance, it may be possible to
convert existing life insurance policies to a policy more suited to provide liquidity at a
lower cost. A comprehensive life insurance review can uncover this potential.

Similarly, an investor might use required minimum distributions from an IRA (or other
qualified plan) to pay the premiums on an insurance policy. Combining a life insurance
purchase with an annuity might also make sense. An annuity can provide a guaranteed
minimum annual cash flow. That cash flow can be used to pay annual premiums on a life
insurance policy, without fear that the policy will lapse due to inability to pay the
premiums in the future.

Life Insurance An ILIT must be carefully structured with professional assistance to assure that the

^" donor does not retain excessive rights over the life insurance policy. Retention of such

Jf^JQ^ rights could cause the life insurance proceeds to be included in the donor's estate.

(continued)

Virtually all investment income earned by an irrevocable trust typically is taxed at the
highest tax rate. This rule is a significant — and adverse — departure from the tax
rules governing taxation of individuals. An individual taxpayer is subject to the top tax
rate only to the extent his or her taxable income exceeds $400,000 ($450,000 for a
family). But an irrevocable trust is subject to the top tax rate on income in excess of
only $1 1,950. Thus, while even affluent families avoid the highest income tax rate on
a significant portion of their income, a trust must pay tax at that rate on virtually all of
the income it earns.

An irrevocable trust is subject to the top tax rate on income in excess of only $11,950.

And that top income tax rate has increased significantly. In 2012, the top tax rate on
most dividends and long-term capital gains was 15%, and the top tax rate on other
types of investment income was 35%. The fiscal cliff compromise raised the
maximum income tax rate on most dividends and long-term capital gains to 20% and
the tax rate on other types of investment income to 39.6%. In addition, under the
health care reform law passed in 2009 and upheld by the Supreme Court last year,
beginning in 2013 investment income is subject to an additional 3.8% surtax. When
the surtax is added to the new higher regular tax rates, the tax rate on most dividends
and long-term capital gains rises to 23.8% and the tax rate on other investment income
rises to 43.4%. Thus, the tax rates applied to virtually every dollar of irrevocable trust
income have risen almost nine percentage points in 2013.

A trust can reduce income taxes by distributing investment income currently to a
beneficiary. A trust pays no income tax on distributed income. Instead such income is
taxed to the recipient at the recipient's tax rate — which may be lower (and in any
event cannot be higher) than the trust's tax rate.

But reducing trust income tax by distributing income that beneficiaries do not need is
inefficient and thwarts the estate planning purpose of the trust. Estate taxes are
minimized where the trust retains its investment earnings so the earnings may later
pass to final beneficiaries estate tax free. If trust income is distributed currently
instead, the beneficiaries needlessly pay income tax and, later, estate tax when they
fail to spend the income during their lives.

This, then, is the conundrum of trust taxation: To keep income taxes low, a trust should
distribute its income. But to keep estate taxes low, a trust should retain its income and
pass it on later to future generations. The conundrum can be solved only by
accumulating earnings in the trust and investing assets wisely to minimize the income
tax imposed on those earnings.

To achieve both estate tax and income tax efficiencies a trust should invest in assets that
generate income exempt from tax or taxed at low rates. For this reason, when investing
trust assets, a professional management strategy that seeks to enhance after-tax return by
balancing investment and tax considerations is exceedingly important.

Conclusion Using irrevocable trust assets to purchase permanent life insurance can provide greater
amounts to heirs while minimizing both estate and income taxes. Given the higher
income tax rates in effect, now is the time to discuss these techniques with a qualified
professional.

^ Some states have adopted — or have suggested they will adopt — a lower gift tax
exemption amount for purposes of applying the state inheritance tax. Thus it is
important to consider state tax consequences before undertaking any gift.

If you plan on opening your new account in the name of your LLC, corporation, or
other business entity, etc., make sure to take the following items with you to the bank:

1. EIN Number

2. Letter of good standing from the Secretary of State website

3. Your Operating Agreement

4. Certificate of Trust

If you are using a trust and it has a separate EEN number, be sure to take it, as well as
your trust agreement.

Every bank is different in what they require, but you want to be prepared.

Things to Note 1. When signing your bank documents, sign with "All rights reserved - Without

2. Your Trust documents are private and confidential. Why you set up a Trust and
how that Trust is set up is NONE of the bank's business.

Trusts go by many different names, depending on the characteristics or the purpose of
the trust. Because trusts often have multiple characteristics or purposes, a single trust
might accurately be described in several ways. For example, is often an express trust,
which might include an incentive trust, and so forth.

Constructive trust. Unlike an express trust, a constructive trust is not created by an
agreement between a settlor and the trustee. A constructive trust is imposed by the law
as an "equitable remedy." This generally occurs due to some wrongdoing, where the
wrongdoer has acquired legal title to some property and cannot in good conscience be
allowed to benefit from it. A constructive trust is, essentially, a legal fiction. For
example, a court of equity recognizing a plaintiffs request for the equitable remedy of
a constructive trust may decide that a constructive trust has been created and simply
order the person holding the assets to deliver them to the person who rightfully should
have them. The constructive trustee is not necessarily the person who is guilty of the
wrongdoing, and in practice it is often a bank or similar . The distinction may be finer
than the preceding exposition in that there are also said to be two forms of
constructive trust, the institutional constructive trust and the remedial constructive
trust. The latter is an "equitable remedy" imposed by law being truly remedial; the

former arising due to some defect in the transfer of property.

Trusts

What is a Trust?, Continued

Directed trust. In these types, a directed trustee is directed by a number of other trust
participants in implementing the trust's execution; these participants may include a
distribution committee, trust protector, or . The directed trustee's role is administrative
which involves following instructions, holding legal title to the trust assets, providing
fiduciary and tax accounting, coordinating trust participants and offering dispute resolution
among the participants

Dynasty trust (also known as a generation-skipping trust). A type of trust in which assets
are passed down to the grantor's grandchildren, not the grantor's children. The children of
the grantor never take title to the assets. This allows the grantor to avoid the estate taxes that

would if the assets were transferred to his or her children first. Generation- skipping trusts
can still be used to provide financial benefits to a grantor's children, however, because any
income generated by the trust's assets can be made accessible to the grantor's children while
still leaving the assets in trust for the grandchildren.

Express trust. An express trust arises where a settlor deliberately and consciously decides
to create a trust, over their assets, either now, or upon his or her later death. In these cases
this will be achieved by signing a trust instrument, which will either be a will or a trust
deed. Almost all trusts dealt with in the trust industry are of this type. They contrast with
resulting and constructive trusts. The intention of the parties to create the trust must be
shown clearly by their language or conduct. For an express trust to exist, there must be
certainty to the objects of the trust and the trust property. In the USA Statute of Frauds
provisions require express trusts to be evidenced in writing if the trust property is above a
certain value, or is real estate.

Fixed trust. In a fixed trust, the entitlement of the beneficiaries is fixed by the settlor. The
trustee has little or no discretion. Common examples are: a trust for a minor ("to x if she
attains 21"); a life interest ("to pay the income to x for her lifetime"); and a remainder ("to
pay the capital to y after the death of x")

Hybrid trust. A hybrid trust combines elements of both fixed and discretionary trusts. In a
hybrid trust, the trustee must pay a certain amount of the trust property to each beneficiary
fixed by the settlor. But the trustee has discretion as to how any remaining trust property,
once these fixed amounts have been paid out, is to be paid to the beneficiaries.

Implied trust. An implied trust, as distinct from an express trust, is created where some of
the legal requirements for an express trust are not met, but an intention on behalf of the
parties to create a trust can be presumed to exist. A resulting trust may be deemed to be
present where a trust instrument is not properly drafted and a portion of the equitable title
has not been provided for.

Incentive trust. A trust that uses distributions from income or principal as an incentive
to encourage or discourage certain behaviors on the part of the beneficiary. The term
"incentive trust" is sometimes used to distinguish trusts that provide fixed conditions for
access to trust funds from discretionary trusts that leave such decisions up to the trustee.

Inter vivos trust (or living trust). A settlor who is living at the time the trust is
established creates an inter vivos trust.

Irrevocable trust. In contrast to a revocable trust, an irrevocable trust is one in which

the terms of the trust cannot be amended or revised until the terms or purposes of the
trust have been completed. Although in rare cases, a court may change the terms of the
trust due to unexpected changes in circumstances that make the trust uneconomical or
unwieldy to administer, under normal circumstances an irrevocable trust may not be
changed by the trustee or the beneficiaries of the trust.

Offshore trust. Strictly speaking, an offshore trust is a trust which is resident in any
jurisdiction other than that in which the settlor is resident. However, the term is more
commonly used to describe a trust in one of the jurisdictions known as offshore financial
centers or, colloquially, as tax havens. Offshore trusts are usually conceptually similar to
onshore trusts in common law countries, but usually with legislative modifications to
make them more commercially attractive by abolishing or modifying certain common
law restrictions. By extension, "onshore trust" has come to mean any trust resident in a
high-tax jurisdiction.

Personal injury trust. A personal injury trust is any form of trust where funds are held
by trustees for the benefit of a person who has suffered an injury and funded exclusively
by funds derived from pajonents made in consequence of that injury.

Private and public trusts. A private trust has one or more particular individuals as its
beneficiary. By contrast, a public trust (also called a charitable trust) has some charitable
end as its beneficiary. In order to qualify as a charitable trust, the trust must have as its
object certain purposes such as alleviating poverty, providing education, carrying out
some religious purpose, etc. The permissible objects are generally set out in legislation,
but objects not explicitly set out may also be an object of a charitable trust, by analogy.
Charitable trusts are entitled to special treatment under the law of trusts and also the law
of taxation.

Protective trust. Here the terminology is different between the UK and the USA:
In the UK, a protective trust is a life interest which terminates on the happening of a
specified event such as the bankruptcy of the beneficiary or any attempt by him to
dispose of his interest. They have become comparatively rare.

What is a Trust?, Continued

In the USA, a protective trust is a type of trust that was devised for use in estate planning.
(In another jurisdiction this might be thought of as one type of asset protection trust.) Often
a person, A, wishes to leave property to another person B. A however fears that the
property might be claimed by creditors before A dies, and that therefore B would receive
none of it. A could establish a trust with B as the beneficiary, but then A would not be
entitled to use of the property before they died. Protective trusts were developed as a
solution to this situation. A would establish a trust with both A and B as beneficiaries, with
the trustee instructed to allow A use of the property until they died, and thereafter to allow
its use to B. The property is then safe from being claimed by A's creditors, at least so long
as the debt was entered into after the trust's establishment. This use of trusts is similar to
life estates and remainders, and are frequently used as alternatives to them.

Purpose trust. Or, more accurately, non-charitable purpose trust (all charitable trusts are
purpose trusts). Generally, the law does not permit non-charitable purpose trusts outside of
certain anomalous exceptions which arose under the eighteenth century common law (and,
arguable, Quistclose trusts). Certain jurisdictions (principally, offshore jurisdictions) have
enacted legislation validating non-charitable purpose trusts generally.

Resulting trust. A resulting trust is a form of implied trust which occurs where (1) a trust
fails, wholly or in part, as a result of which the settlor becomes entitled to the assets; or (2)
a voluntary payment is made by A to B in circumstances which do not suggest gifting. B
becomes the resulting trustee of A's payment.

Revocable trust. A trust of this kind may be amended, altered or revoked by its settlor at

any time, provided the settlor is not mentally incapacitated. Revocable trusts are becoming
increasingly common in the US as a substitute for a will to minimize administrative costs
associated with probate and to provide centralized administration of a person's final affairs
after death.

Secret trust. A post mortem trust constituted externally from a will but imposing
obligations as a trustee on one, or more, legatees of a will.

Simple trust. In the US jurisdiction this has two distinct meanings: In a simple trust the
trustee has no active duty beyond conveying the property to the beneficiary at some future
time determined by the trust. This is also called a bare trust. All other trusts are special
trusts where the trustee has active duties beyond this.

A simple trust in Federal income tax law is one in which, under the terms of the trust
document, all net income must be distributed on an annual basis.

(continued)

21 Types of In the UK a bare or simple trust is one where the beneficiary has an immediate and
L"!!!^*^ j\ absolute right to both the capital and income held in the trust. Bare trusts are

commonly used to transfer assets to minors. Trustees hold the assets on trust until the
beneficiary is 18 in England and Wales, or 16 in Scotland.

Special trust. In the US, a special trust, also called complex trust, contrasts with a
simple trust (see above). It does not require the income be paid out within the subject
tax year. The funds from a complex trust can also be used to donate to a charity or for
charitable purposes.

Special Power of Appointment trust (SPA Trust). A trust implementing a special
power of appointment to provide asset protection features.

Since Asset Protection ultimately relies on removing the assets from both the U.S.
jurisdiction and the control of the clients, a very good question is: How can I be sure
that the new foreign Trustee doesn't run away with my money should I ever need to
use the Trust? To answer this question, we need to look at the intricacies of how a
well-drafted Asset Protection Trust creates internal and external "checks and
balances."

To begin, let's look at how the plan controls the money through:

1. A legal structure which requires the approval and consent of various parties

who act as checks and balances on the assets.

2. A physical tracking mechanism set up directly with the independent client's

chosen bank, which holds the money, so that the client is always aware of the
money's location.

The 4 Roles in The Asset Protection Trust has 4 primary roles:
a Trust

1. The Settlors (the clients). That's YOU.

2. The Trustee.

3. The Protector.

4. The Beneficiaries.

Trustee's Role The legal control of the assets is done through a two-party approval mechanism. This
is kind of like requiring two signatures on a check. The Trustee is responsible for the

management of the assets and has legal title. However, unless the Trustee is the client,
they do not have physical possession of the money, which is held at an independent
and unrelated bank.

In order for the Trustee to actually do anything with the money, they then must also
have the consent of The Protector. This would include things like wiring the money to
another bank or even to another account with a different name, or making any changes
whatsoever in the physical location of the money.

Statement

Off-Shore Banking, Continued

Protector The role of Protector is just that, to protect the assets of the Trust for the benefit of the

Beneficiaries. As such the Protector has two primary jobs:

1. To approve of the actions of the Trustee.

2. To remove the Trustee if the Trustee is not acting in the best interests of the

Beneficiaries.

This is what ensures that the Trustee doesn't run off with the money. The next logical
question is: So who keeps an eye on the Protector? This is where the loop closes back to
the only location in which the clients can have 100% security themselves. The Settlors
(clients) have the power to remove and replace the Protector for any reason they choose to
at any time. The only exception is if a U.S. court is demanding that they do so to appoint
the court or a court representative as Protector, in which case that particular order is
ignored.

The only other possible loophole that could endanger the money is if both the Trustee and
the Protector conspired together to defraud the Trust. This is highly unlikely in and of itself
due to the fact that the Trustee is a large Trust Company and has their own internal checks
and balances as well as the fiduciary duty and liability to the Trust, and the fact that the
Protector is personally chosen directly by the client and has the same fiduciary duty.
Nevertheless, the plan has one final check that ensures that the client themselves always
have full knowledge of where the money is, and where it is going to.
This final check is called a 'client acknowledgment' procedure. The bank, typically a large
private Swiss bank, chosen by the client, will have a hold period prior to the execution of
any orders to withdraw funds, or move money from the Trust account. This procedure
would require the bank to have a personal confirmation that the Beneficiaries (also the
clients) have direct knowledge of the proposed transfer.

Beneficiaries The Beneficiaries are not in "control" of the money directly. However, since the bank must
have a direct personal verification that the Beneficiaries are aware of the transfer, if a
proposed transfer is not approved, the bank will be so informed, by the clients themselves.
The order would then be delayed for a sufficient period of time for the Settlors to appoint a
new Protector, who will appoint a new Trustee.

As you might imagine, the net effect is that it is virtually impossible to make any move with Trust assets
without the client's direct knowledge and consent. This combined with the fact that any serious Asset
Protection Plan is going to use only the most stable and reputable institutions to fill any fiduciary role
makes having your assets offshore safer than the local bank down the street by far.
The difference is that the bank down the street is in the jurisdiction of the court at the other end of the
street. And right in the middle is the ail-too familiar lawyers office, which is where all the trouble began in
the first place.

Sending and Receiving International Payments

Dealing in foreign currency can save you time and money, reduce risk, and help you
gain a competitive advantage.

• Save time. When you send a wire in foreign currency, the recipient does not
have to wait for the overseas bank to accept it and convert it to local currency.
Wires sent in foreign currency move directly to the foreign beneficiary and are
subject to less delay than US denominated wires sent through intermediary
banks. In many countries. Wells Fargo maintains accounts that can be used to
receive incoming wires and accelerate collection times.

• Save money. When you send international wires in foreign currency, you pay
lower fees than for US dollar international wires. You may also pay lower
international bank fees.

• Reduce risk. By sending a wire in foreign currency you can lock in the
exchange rate, secure your order, and know the full cost of the transaction
before the wire is sent.

• Gain competitive advantage. You may be able to negotiate a better price with
your overseas business partner. By receiving a wire in local currency, the
beneficiary will avoid assuming the risks of currency rate fluctuations and the
costs of foreign exchange.

A Foreign Exchange Specialist can help you manage the financial risk associated with
changing currency values. Some of these risks include transaction-related charges
from foreign banks, overpaying your supplier, overcharging your customers, lowering
the competitiveness of your product, and undercharging your customers. Even
businesses that only trade in US dollars may face opportunity risk if they have
competitors dealing in foreign currency and therefore are enjoying competitive pricing
advantages created by exchange rate fluctuations. We specialize in providing you the
right solution to handle your international transactions. We can also help you find the
most advantageous way of negotiating transactions. In fact, you may reduce your risk
by dealing in foreign currency. Contact a Foreign Exchange Specialist at 1-866-819-

You can perform four basic types of foreign exchange transactions:»Spot contracts
allow you to buy or sell foreign currency at competitive FX market rates. Once you
select the currency you want to buy or sell, the foreign exchange rate is presented for
you to accept.

• Forward contracts allow you to arrange today to buy or sell foreign currency
with delivery of funds occurring on a future date beyond the spot date. This
eliminates the impact of a rate fluctuation on your profit margins when you
receive or make future foreign currency payments.

• Forward window contracts allow you to buy or sell a foreign currency at a
designated price during a specified period between two future dates, providing
more flexibility than contracts tied to a single date.

• Swap transactions allow you to protect the dollar value of an initial overseas
investment in a foreign currency and any receivables generated in the future. A
swap transaction is the simultaneous purchase and sale of currency to cover your
short- and long-term exposures.

In addition, you may settle your foreign currency contracts via wire transfer or draft or
by accessing your Wells Fargo Multi -Currency Account. Repetitive payment
instructions are stored within the system, allowing you to efficiently settle transactions
without re-keying data. Drafts can be printed locally from your desktop. You can also
request a rate for exchanging checks in qualifying foreign currencies and deposit the US
dollar equivalent into your company's Wells Fargo account.

The FinCEN Currency Transaction Report (CTR)

Introduction The following frequently asked questions (FAQs) have been provided to assist

financial institutions in their use of the FinCEN CTR, which, as of April 1, 2013, is
the only acceptable format for submitting currency transaction reports to FinCEN.
FinCEN will issue additional FAQs and guidance as needed.

Expectations What are the expectations for completing the Items with an asterisk ("critical")
and without an asterisk ("non-critical") found on the FinCEN CTR or any other
FinCEN report?

As explained in FinCEN's March 2012 guidance ( FIN-2012-G002 ), for both critical
and non-critical elements, financial institutions should complete those Items for
which they have relevant information, regardless of whether or not the individual
Items are deemed critical for technical filing purposes.

For critical Items, financial institutions must either provide the requested information
or affirmatively check the "Unknown" (Unk.) box that is provided on the FinCEN
CTR and FinCEN Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) (or any other FinCEN Report).
For non-critical Items, FinCEN expects financial institutions will provide the most
complete filing information available within each report consistent with existing
regulatory expectations. Based upon feedback from law enforcement officials, such
information is important for query purposes. However, the new FinCEN SAR and
FinCEN CTR do not create any new obligations to collect data, either manually or
through an enterprise- wide IT management system, where such collection is not
already required by current statutes and regulations, especially when such collection
would be in conflict with the financial institution's obligations under any other
applicable law. Therefore, a financial institution may leave non-critical fields without
an asterisk blank when information is not readily available.

How do I meet my underlying obUgation to submit a complete and accurate
report if my filing software does not allow me to include known information for
a field without an asterisk?

FinCEN expects financial institutions to have the capability to submit information for
any of the data fields in the FinCEN CTR or SAR (or any other FinCEN report). In
general, if your financial institution's filing software does not permit the institution to
include information in a field without an asterisk where information has been
collected and is pertinent to the report, the financial institution should instead
complete a discrete filing for those transactions until the software is updated. If a
filing has been submitted in which such information was not included because of
such a limitation in the filing software, an amended filing should be completed using
either the discrete filing method or an amended batch filing, once the software is
updated. Such software updates should be implemented within a reasonable period of
time. (800) 949-2732 FREE FinCEN Regulatory Helpline at (800) 949-2732.

BSA E- When I log into BSA E-Filing, I do not see the new FinCEN CTR.

^"'"9 "General users" of the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) E-Filing System can only view those

reports that the "supervisory user" has given them permission to see. If you cannot view or
access the new FinCEN CTR, please contact your supervisory user to request access.

Supervisory users of the BSA E-Filing System are able to view all available FinCEN
reports when they log into the BSA E-Filing System. The supervisory user must grant
access for the general users to be able to view the new FinCEN reports.

To do so, a supervisory user first must:

1. Log into the BSA E-Filing System.

2. Select "Manage Users" from the left-hand side under "User Management."

3. Select the general user whose access roles require updating.

4. Select "Reassign Roles."

Upon reaching the next webpage, the supervisory user must:

1 . Select the roles ("FinCEN CTR Filer," "FinCEN CTR Batch Filer," "FinCEN SAR
Filer," "FinCEN SAR Batch Filer," "FinCEN DOEP Filer," "FinCEN DOEP Batch
Filer," etc.) in the "Remaining Roles" box that need to be added for the general user,

2. Move those selected roles to the "Current Roles" box and select "Continue."

After all these steps are completed, the general user will now have access to the selected
new roles and can access the new FinCEN reports.

Completing Where can I find the instructions for completing the new FinCEN CTR?

the FinCEN Electronic filing instructions can be found in Attachment C of the "FinCEN CTR Electronic

CTR

Filing Requirements" document.

This document can be found under "User Quick Links" of the BSA E-Filing System
homepage ( http ://b s aef iling . fincen . treas . go v/main . html ) or on the "Forms" page of the
FinCEN Web site ( http ://www .fincen. go v/forms/bsa forms/) .

Additionally, instructions are embedded within the discrete filing version of the FinCEN
CTR and are revealed when scrolling over the relevant tields with your computer "mouse."

Filing Name What do I enter for "Filing Name"?

The filing name can be any name the financial institution chooses to use to identify the
specific filing (e.g.. Bank CTR 4-4-2012). The process for assigning filing names is for the
financial institution to decide, and can assist the financial institution in tracking its BSA
filings. We recommend using a naming convention that will be easy to understand and track
for recordkeeping and audit/examination purposes.

Amended How to file a corrected/amended FinCEN CTR via the BSA E-Filing System?
FinCEN CTR

Filers attempting to submit a corrected/amended CTR via the BSA E-Filing System
should check "Correct/amend prior report" and enter the previous Document Control
Number (DCN)/BSA Identifier (ID) in the appropriate field. The filer should complete
the FinCEN CTR in its entirety, including the corrected/amended information, save
(and print, if desired) a copy of the filing, and submit the filing. The corrected/amended
FinCEN CTR will be assigned a new BSA ID.

To find your DCN/BSA ID for the previous filing, you will need the acknowledgement
received by the general user after successfully submitting the report into the BSA E-
Filing System. All general users assigned access to the new FinCEN reports
automatically receive these acknowledgements. Filers can choose to receive these
acknowledgements in an "ASCII" or "XML" format. Please also note that supervisory
users cannot view the contents of the acknowledgements received by the general users.

Amended How do I correct/amend a prior CTR filing via the BSA E-Filing System if I do
CTR Filing j^^^g ^yie prior DCN/BSA ID?

If the previous DCN/BSA ID is not known, filers should enter all "zeros" (14 in total)
for the previous DCN/BSA ID. This information was published in a Notice on October
31, 2011. This notice is applicable to corrections/amendments for any previous filing.
The filer should complete the FinCEN CTR in its entirety, including the
corrected/amended information, save (and print, if desired) a copy of the filing, and
submit the filing. The corrected/amended FinCEN CTR will be assigned a new BSA
ID that will be sent to the filer in the FinCEN CTR acknowledgement. The new BSA
ID will begin with the number "3 1 ."

Obtaining Can we obtain a copy of a FinCEN CTR that we filed using the BSA E-Filing
Copies System?

The BSA E-Filing System is not a record keeping program; consequently, filers are not
able to access or view previously filed reports. The BSA E-Filing System does provide
tracking information on past report submissions and acknowledgements for accepted BSA
reports. Users of the BSA E-Filing System must save and can print a copy of the FinCEN
CTR prior to submitting it. FinCEN does not provide copies of filed reports to filers.

Saving Copies When should I save the copy of the FinCEN CTR that is being filed using the BSA
E-Filing System?

A BSA filing may be saved at any stage of completion and then reopened at a later time
to complete and submit into the BSA E-Filing System. You must electronically save
your filing before it can be submitted into the BSA E-Filing System. NOTE: The BSA
E-Filing System is not a record keeping program. When saving a BSA filing, users
must save the filing to their computer, network, or other appropriate storage device. For
additional information about recordkeeping requirements under the BSA, please refer to
31 CFR § 1010.430(d) and FAQ #11.

Please note that the BSA E-Filing System will log filers off the system after a certain
time period if there is no action within the account, even if the filer is working within
the FinCEN CTR. For that reason, FinCEN strongly recommends that filers download
the FinCEN CTR template, log out of BSA E-Filing, complete the FinCEN CTR off-
line, and then log back into BSA E-Filing to upload and submit the report.

Saving Where can I save a report being filed electronically?

Electronic

Reports ^ ^.-j^^. electronically save the filing to his/her computer hard drive, a network drive, or
other appropriate storage device. By clicking on the "Save" button a standard dialog box
will appear to allow you to choose the location for your saved report. Once the report is
saved, the "Submit" button will become available. A filer may also want to print a paper
copy for your financial institution's records.

A filer should NOT save a copy of the report on a public computer or a computer that is
not regularly accessed by the filer.This will ensure that the file remains appropriately
secured.

Requirements

What are my recordkeeping requirements when I submit a file electronically?

After submitting a report via the BSA E-Filing System, filers are required to save a
printed or electronic copy of the report in accordance with applicable record retention
policies and procedures. Filers are reminded that they are generally required to keep
copies of their filings for five years. See 31 CFR § 1010.306(a)(2), 31 CFR §
1010.330(e)(3), 31 CFR § 1010.340(d), 31 CFR § 1020.320(d), 31 CFR §

Record What is the timeframe for filing the FinCEN CTR? I have seen both 15 and 25 days

Keeping referenced.

Requirements

FinCEN regulations have consistently maintained a regulatory requirement that CTRs be
filed within 15 days. The 25 -day period was implemented, in connection with receipt of
magnetic media files (ended December 2008), to account for physically transporting
(shipping) the magnetic media to the processing center in Detroit, Michigan. FinCEN
understands that this business practice had continued with respect to batch e-filing,
particularly considering previous public guidance referencing the 25 -day period.

In light of the comments received and acknowledging that some financial institutions

may have needed to change their business processes to become compliant with the rules,
FinCEN determined that it would temporarily maintain the 25-day compliance period
referenced in its earlier specifications until March 31, 2013, for those filers that needed
to update their systems in order to be in compliance with the established regulatory
requirements. This temporary extension to the filing requirements was to allow sufficient
time for filers to adjust submission schedules to meet established regulatory
requirements.

As of April 1, 2013, all FinCEN CTRs must be filed within 15 calendar days of the
reported transaction(s).

Steps for What are the steps for properly submitting a single (discrete) FinCEN CTR filing

Submitting through the BSA E-Filing System?
the FinCEN

Validating How can I validate that my discrete filing submission was accepted properly by
Submissions j^e BSA E-Filing System?

After clicking "Submit," the submission process begins. Once your filing is accepted
into the BSA E-Filing System, a "Confirmation Page" pop-up will appear with the
following information:

a. Tracking ID (A unique tracking ID assigned to the filing by BSA E-
Filing)

b. Date and time of the submission

c. Submission Type

d. Owner (submitter) Name

e. Owner (submitter) email address

f. Filing Name

An email will also be sent to the email address associated with your BSA E-Filing
account indicating your submission has been "Accepted" for submission into the BSA
E-Filing System.

If the Confirmation Page pop-up is not displayed, your filing was not accepted for
submission by the BSA E-Filing System. If you are returned to the BSA E-Filing
System login page, your connection has timed out and you must login to the BSA E-
Filing System and resubmit your report. It is recommended that you first close out of
your browser and then re-open it before attempting to log into the BSA E-Filing
System again.

Once your report is accepted and a confirmation page pop-up is displayed, the status of
your report can be viewed by clicking on the "Track Status" link on the left navigation
menu. The status will appear as "Accepted." Within 48 hours, your report will be
formally acknowledged as having been successfully processed for inclusion in
FinCEN 's data base. The status will change to "Acknowledged" in the "Track Status"
view. In addition, a secure message containing the official BSA ID assigned to your
report will be sent to your "Secure Mailbox."

Entities I am filing the FinCEN CTR on an entity; however, the selections in Item 2a-2c all

reference a person. What selection would I choose when filing on an entity?

Under the BSA regulations, the definition of "person" found at 31 CFR lOlO.lOO(mm)
is "an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a trust or estate, a joint stock company, an
association, a syndicate, joint venture, or other unincorporated organization or group, an
Indian Tribe (as that term is defined in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act), and all
entities recognizable as legal personalities." Since an entity cannot physically conduct a
transaction, the only selection that would apply is 2c "Person on whose behalf
transaction was conducted." In addition, if filing on an entity, a filer must select the
checkbox (Item 4b) for "If entity" in Part I.

What if more than one "role" (Item 2) applies to the person being listed in Part I?

If more than one Item 2 option applies to a person involved in the transaction(s), filers
should complete only one Part I on that person with only one entry in Item 2 pursuant to the
following construct:

When to select Option 2a: In addition to when only Option 2a applies, filers should select
Option 2a "Person conducting transaction on own behalf if 1) Options 2a, 2b, and 2c apply;
2) Options 2a and 2b apply; or 3) Options 2a and 2c apply.

When to select Option 2b: In addition to when only Option 2b applies, filers should select
Option 2b "Person conducting transaction for another" if both Options 2b and 2c apply and
Option 2a does not apply.

When to select Option 2c: Filers should select Option 2c "Person on whose behalf
transaction was conducted" only on the person for whom the transaction is conducted. This
person cannot have other roles within the transaction or the options would apply.

When to select Option 2d: In addition to when only Option 2d applies, filers should select
"Courier Service (private)" if multiple options that include 2d "Courier service (private)"
apply.

Should we aggregate "multiple transactions"? What is the proper way to complete a
CTR on transactions involving multiple business entities?

Yes. All the individual transactions a financial institution has knowledge of being
conducted by or on behalf of the same person during a single business day must be
aggregated. Debits must be added to debits, and credits must be added to credits. If cash
debit or credit totals exceed $10,000 in a business day, a CTR is required. If debits and
credits each exceed $10,000, they can each be reported on a single CTR, but financial
institutions should not off- set debits and credits against one another or reconcile for
reporting purposes cash-in transactions with cash-out transactions. Multiple transactions
in currency must be treated as a single transaction if the financial institution "has
knowledge that they are by or on behalf of any person and result in either cash in or cash
out totaling more than $10,000 during any one business day."

In this regard, institutions should refer to FinCEN Rulings FIN-2001-R002 and FIN-2012-
GOOl . For example, the requirement to file a CTR may be triggered by an individual
depositing more than $10,000 into multiple business accounts. In that case, the filing
should be completed with those entities on whose behalf the transaction(s) were
conducted and on the individual who conducted the transaction (Part I). In a situation
where multiple withdrawals involving several individuals have occurred throughout the
day, common ownership may be relevant to a determination that aggregation is required.
If multiple businesses are not operating separately and independently, the institution may
reach the conclusion that their transactions should be aggregated. A CTR would be
completed indicating those entities on whose behalf the transaction(s) were conducted and
those individual(s) conducting the transaction(s). Each entity and individual would be
listed in a respective Part I. This reasoning has traditionally been extended to the
exemption process as well.

When do you check the "Multiple transactions" box (Item 3)?

Filers should check "Multiple transactions" (Item 3) if there were multiple cash-in or
cash-out transactions of any amount conducted in a single business day by or for the
person recorded in Part I. "Multiple transactions" is not the same as the Item 24 option
"Aggregated transactions," which only involves multiple transactions all of which are
below the reporting requirements and requires at least one of the transactions to be a teller
transaction. The use of Item 24 "Aggregated transactions" is discussed in more detail in
FAQ #27.

For example, if Tom Doe deposited $6,000 to his personal account in the morning, and
then later in the same business day deposited an additional $5,000 to his personal account,
the filing institution would check Item 3 "Multiple transactions" when completing a Part I
on Tom Doe.

Another example would be if Tom Doe deposited $7,000 into ABC Restaurant's
business account and then later in the same business day Jane Smith deposited
$5,000 into ABC Restaurant's business account, the tiling institution would check
Item 3 "Multiple transactions" when completing a Part I on ABC Restaurant;
however, the tiling institution would NOT check Item 3 "Multiple transactions"
when completing a Part I on Tom Doe or Jane Smith.

Multiple There may be instances where, at one time, an individual brings in funds to deposit

Accounts multiple accounts at the tinancial institution. Whether or not to check "Multiple

transactions" in these instances depends on the tinancial institution's procedures.
For example, a customer brings in $15,000 and deposits the funds to three different
accounts; the financial institution posts each transaction individually, choosing as a
matter of policy to define each as a separate transaction. When completing Part I on
the conductor, the tinancial institution would check Item 3 "Multiple transactions"
as a result of its procedures to post the transactions individually and treat each one
as a separate transaction.

The NAICS How do I determine whether or not to indicate a North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) Code?

FinCEN previously issued guidance in March 2012 that addressed the selection of
the NAICS Code on the FinCEN CTR and FinCEN SAR. FinCEN emphasized that
financial institutions will continue to be expected to provide only that information
for which they have direct knowledge. As noted in that guidance, the issuance of
the FinCEN CTR does not create any new obligation or otherwise change existing
statutory and regulatory requirements for the filing institution. In addition, use of a
NAICS code is not mandatory, and a financial institution may still provide a text
response with respect to this information within the "Occupation" tield.

Please note that batch filers must use only the 3-4 digit NAICS codes on our
approved list of codes. Discrete filers can select from the available drop-down list
embedded within the CTR.

Please refer to FIN-2012-G002 for further information.

Acceptable is it acceptable to indicate terms such as "homemaker," "retired," or
"unemployed" as descriptions for occupations?

When recording the occupation, profession, or type of business of the individual or
entity listed in Part I, use specific descriptions such as "doctor," "carpenter,"
"attorney," "used car dealership," "plumber," "truck driver," "hardware store," etc.

The FinCEN Currency Transaction Report (CTR), Continued

Generally, do not use non-descriptive items such as "businessman," "merchant,"
"retailer," "retired," or "self-employed." If words like "self-employed," "unemployed,"
"homemaker," or "retired" must be used, however, add the current or former profession
if known (e.g., "self-employed building contractor," "retired teacher," or "unemployed
carpenter"). Financial institutions should pay particular attention to customers with
non-specific occupations who continually make large cash deposits.

Is a "form of identification" (Item 20) required for an entity? If so, what
information would we enter in that field?

For technical filing purposes, Item 20 is a critical field on the FinCEN CTR (identified
by the *). However, the release of the FinCEN CTR did not create any new obligations
or otherwise change existing statutory and regulatory expectations of financial
institutions in filing the new report.

The previous guidance for completing the identification field on the CTR for an entity
instructed filers to check the "Other" box and enter "NA" on the line provided. That
instruction is no longer valid given the addition of the "Unknown" box for Item 20. The
addition of the "Unknown" box means that filers will no longer use "NA" or "XX" in
certain fields.

Therefore, if the filing institution does not have information available or knowledge of a
"form of identification" for the entity, it should check the "Unknown" box for Item 20.
FinCEN expects, however, that financial institutions will provide the most complete
filing information available within each report, regardless of whether or not the
individual fields are deemed critical for technical filing purposes. Examples of "forms of
identification" for an entity could include the entity's business license or incorporation
documents. Please refer to 31 CFR § 1010.312 for additional information on
identification requirements.

Please note that if "Other" is selected in Item 20, you must either put in the number
associated with that other form of identification or space fill the "Number" box to avoid a
validation error.

What amount gets listed in Item 21/22 when the person in Part I was both a

conductor and had transactions conducted on his or her behalf?

Scenario: Tom Doe deposited $6,000 into his personal account. During the same
business day, Jane Smith deposited an additional $5,000 into Tom Doe's personal
account.

In this scenario, the filing institution would complete two Part Is, one for Tom Doe and
one for Jane Smith. The Part I for Tom Doe would be completed by checking 2a
"Person conducting transaction on own behalf and entering $1 1,000 into Item 21.

(continued)

The Part I for Jane Smith would be completed by checking 2b "Person conducting
transaction for another" and entering $5,000 into Item 21. For each Part I, the amounts
in hem 21 and/or 22 (depending on whether the report is for cash in, cash out, or both)
should be the total amount of all cash-in and/or cash-out transactions reflected in the
FinCEN CTR involving that individual or entity.

Completing
Part 1 of the
FinCEN CTR
- Item 21

How do I properly complete Part I on the FinCEN CTR for deposits into a joint
account? What amounts do we show in Item 21 for each Part I? For example, John
and Jane Smith have a joint account together. John Smith deposited $5,000 into the
account; later in the same business day, Jane Smith deposited $7,000 into the
account.

When a deposit is made into a joint account, the deposit is presumed to be made on the
behalf of all account holders because all account holders have potential access to the
account balance, and multiple Part Is are required. In this example, the financial
institution would complete two Part Is. For Item 2 of each Part I, the financial institution
would check 2a "Person conducting transaction on own behalf and complete the
applicable information for either John Smith or Jane Smith. Item 21 for each Part I would
be completed similarly by entering $12,000 and providing the account number affected.

Note: If Jane Smith did not conduct a deposit, but John Smith deposited $12,000 into the
joint account, then in completing Part I for Jane Smith you would check 2c "Person on
whose behalf transaction was conducted," complete the applicable information in Part I
for Jane Smith, enter $12,000 in Item 21, and provide the account number affected.

Completing
Part 1 of the
FinCEN CTR
- Item 22

How do I properly complete Part I on the FinCEN CTR for withdrawals from a joint
account? What amounts do we show in Item 22 for each Part I? For example, John and
Jane Smith have a joint account together. During one business day, John Smith withdrew
$12,000 from the account.

Since John Smith made a withdrawal from the joint account in excess of $10,000, then the
financial institution would list Jane Smith's information only if it has knowledge that the
transaction was also being conducted on her behalf. If the financial institution does not
have knowledge that the withdrawal was conducted on behalf of Jane Smith, then it would
neither be required to nor prohibited from listing Jane Smith in a second Part I.

Therefore, if the financial institution does not have knowledge that the withdrawal was
conducted on behalf of Jane Smith, the financial institution would complete a Part I on
John Smith. For Item 2 of Part I, the financial institution would check 2a "Person
conducting transaction on ovm behalf and complete the applicable information for John
Smith. Item 22 for Part I on John Smith would be completed by entering $12,000 and
providing the account number affected.

-99-

The FinCEN Currency Transaction Report (CTR), Continued

However, if the financial institution does have knowledge the withdrawal was
completed on behalf of both John Smith and Jane Smith, the financial institution must
complete two Part Is. In completing a Part I on John Smith, the financial institution
would check 2a "Person conducting transaction on own behalf and complete the
applicable information for John Smith. In completing a Part I on Jane Smith, the
financial institution would check 2c "Person on whose behalf transaction was
conducted" and complete the applicable information for Jane Smith. Item 22 for each
Part I would be completed similarly by entering $12,000 and providing the account
number affected.

What is the proper way to complete Part I of the FinCEN CTR when different
individuals are depositing to the same business account?

Scenario: Bob Smith deposits $6,000 into an account for ABC Hotel. Later in the same
business day, Lisa Williams deposits $8,000 into an account for ABC Hotel.

The financial institution would complete three Part Is for the above scenario:

• A Part I on Bob Smith would be completed by 1) checking 2b "Person conducting
transaction for another," 2) completing the applicable information for Bob Smith,
and 3) entering $6,000 in Item 21 and providing the account number affected.

• Another Part I on Lisa Williams would be completed by 1) checking 2b "Person
conducting transaction for another," 2) completing the applicable information for
Lisa Williams, and 3) entering $8,000 in Item 21 and providing the account
number affected.

• Another Part I on ABC Hotel would be completed by 1) checking 2c "Person on
whose behalf transaction was conducted," 2) checking Item 3 "Multiple
transactions," 3) checking "If entity," 4) completing the applicable information for
ABC Hotel, and 5) entering $14,000 in Item 21 and providing the account number
affected.

What I really like about the 28-page PDF, is that it shows a FAST method of taking
care of all your beneficiaries while you wait for your Trusts to be set up. Check out
Revocable Trust Accounts section. It says that you can set up an informal trust
immediately, by simply naming Beneficiaries on your account, with $250,000
insurable for each one. Payable on Death (POD) account.

If you're in a hurry and just want the summary, go to p. 18, where Example 7 shows
how a family of 4 (husband, wife, and 2 minor kids) could easily have $3 million in
one bank, with ALL of it FDIC insured. The $3 Million assumes only those 4 people
as beneficiaries. If you want to add more beneficiaries, that goes way up quickly.
Let's say you want to have Grandma as a beneficiary. Husband adds Grandma to his
POD account for $250,000, and Wife adds Grandma to her POD account for
$250,000. Now you have an extra $500,000 of insured deposits, just by adding one
beneficiary.

In addition to our single, joint, and IRA accounts, my family plans to have these
POD accounts, while we wait for our Formal revocable trusts to be set up.

27 Simple Ways to Become a Better Negotiator

Negotiation is often conjures up images of a sleazy car salesmen, high-profile sports
contracts, and Hollywood-style money deals. That's a shame because negotiation
doesn't have to be sleazy or awkward. Furthermore, most negotiating situations are
much more routine than buying a car. Where to go for dinner? What movie to watch on
Friday night? How to split the bill at lunch?

The approach that has been most successful for me has been to use "natural
negotiation." Natural as in natural conversation. You don't force your way in. You don't
make a fuss. You don't burn bridges. Instead, you treat the exchange as a conversation
instead of an argument. Quite often what you end up with is the most desirable
outcome: the other side will happily give you what you want. Win-win.

These 27 tips will help you become a friendly natural negotiator... and that will make
everyone happy. Oh, and don't dismiss some of them as too simple. If it's "too simple"
for you to take seriously, then you're probably not doing it.

Developing the right mindset

1 . Accept the fact that you need to negotiate. You may not like it. It might make
you feel awkward. The fact is, we all negotiate whether we want to or not. And
if choose to ignore it, then you will lose. Very few people will try to create an
outcome that is harmful to you, but almost all people will do what is in their best
interest. If their best interest and your best interest don't align, then you lose.
That's where knowing the basics of negotiation - and learning how to use them
- prevents you from getting stepped on and pushed over.

2. Forget about the price tag and focus on what you are willing to pay. Economics
101: an item is worth what someone is willing to pay it. There is no reason to
accept the given price if you're not willing to pay for it. The agreement between
buyer and seller happens during every purchase. There is nothing wrong, cheap,
or immoral about asking for a lower price.

3. Know how much value you hold. Do you know how valuable your business is?
For many businesses, the cost of acquiring a new customer is very high.
Companies pay for advertising, marketing, shipping, packaging, and a whole
host of other costs all just to get a product in front of you. Even if you buy a
product or service for 50% of the regular price you are making all of those costs
worth it to the company because they got a new customer. And if they do a good
job, then maybe you'll be a repeat customer. So that first 50% was totally worth
it. Negotiate for a discount; your business is worth it.

Miscellaneous Details, Continued

4. Know what you are willing to accept. Not every negotiation can be planned ahead of
time, but you can prevent a dumb mistake by knowing where you are going to call it
quits before you start talking things out. Know what options are out there. How much
does that car usually sell for? What is a t5^ical rental rate? Do your homework and, if
you can, bring proof.

5. Just try one new thing. If negotiation makes you uncomfortable, then only focus on
doing one thing out of your comfort zone. You don't need to be a master negotiator
to get your desired result. Sometimes one little addition is all it takes.

How to start

6. The way you enter a room can dictate how the rest of an interaction will be. Ever see
someone slump through a doorway with a scowl on their face? Not very inspiring.
Keep your head high and smile when you enter. Starting things off with a positive
vibe is very important, no matter how small it is.

7. Find a person who can help you. The first person you talk to will not always be in a
position to deal with your situation. If they don't have the ability to make the changes
you need or give you the discount you want, and then politely ask to talk with
someone that does.

8. Don't dismiss someone on a bad note. If you do need to switch to someone else, and

then remind the person you are currently talking to that you're happy with their
service and you appreciate their help, but you would like to talk with a manager.

9. Kick things off by talking about a mutual interest, making a true compliment, or
finding common ground. Talk about something you both like before starting to ask
for what you want.

What to say

10. Use the other person's name. It's so basic that almost everyone forgets.

11. Focus on creating a cooperative discussion instead of an adversarial argument. Use
the word, "We" to signify that you're working through this together. For example,
"You know, $100 is a good starting place. Now we just need to work out the details."

Ask about alternative options. Most places have all types of discounts, reduced rates,
secondary options, and other alternatives that can be applied. You'll never know
what options exist if you don't ask. There is almost always more than one way to
solve a problem.

Miscellaneous Details, Continued

If you have a bill with multiple items, always negotiate each individual item first.
Go line by line and see if there is an alternative option, a discount, or if you can
simply eliminate that item altogether. Then, when you have made it through the
full list, you can ask for a group discount.

13. Ask open ended questions. For example, avoid asking, "Do you offer a discount?"
The obvious answer is, "No." Instead say "What is your discount for..." as it
requires more of an explanation. (Hat tip to my friend Baker at Man Vs Debt)

14. If you can, offer to pay in full right away. Paying in full saves the business from
the hassle of managing your payment plan or calling you in the future for money,
so that benefit should be worth a discount on your end.

15. Give yourself an out. Negotiations often go south because blame gets assigned to
one side or the other. Make it easier on both parties by referring to someone off
the scene. A simple, "I'll have to run this by my spouse/business partner/attorney,"
can make it a lot easier. It prevents you from looking like the bad guy.

16. Listen more, talk less. You don't need to say much. Tj^ically, the person that talks
more ends up saying something they regret. Silence can make some people feel
awkward, but a well timed pause can say a lot.

17. Don't offer an ultimatum. "This is my final offer." "Take it or leave it." "I demand
20% off." Nobody likes being told what to do. Ease up, Corleone.

18. Acting like price is the only thing you care about is disrespectful. Saying, "What's
the most you will pay?" or "What's the lowest price you can offer?" totally
eliminates any human element of the conversation. Think about the person on the
other end of the phone, other side of the screen, or other side of the counter.

19. Ask for what you want. The world is a good place with good people, but most of
them are too busy with their own jobs to figure out what you want for you. People
are willing to help, but you need to show them what to do by asking for what you
want.

20. Don't be vague. Stop beating around the bush or trying to tiptoe your way to a
discount. Instead of hinting at what you want and hoping they figure it out, just
clearly ask for your desired outcome. You'll be surprised by how often you get it.

21. Ask the other side to help you. Another great tip from Baker:

Miscellaneous Details, Continued

The "what-would-you-do-in-my-shoes" question — My favorite way to initiate
this question is to say, "Here's the main issue... [restate problem plainly]...
what would you do in my shoes? " Asking questions like this is an effective way
to generate all sorts of creative ideas that you would never even thought to ask.
I often ask this to customer service representatives after being told "no ". -

How to finish

22. Don't put all that work in and blow it at the end. It's easy to get nervous and
panic when you're on the verge of getting what you want. If you're excited and
don't know what to do, then just ask for what you want and be quiet. Talking to
much or play it carefully at the end rarely works out well.

23. No deals on a handshake. If you get a new price, a discount, or any other benefit,

then ask for it in writing. Don't just take their word for it unless you want to
negotiate for it again later. Just make it easier on everyone and get them to write
it down.

24. Call back or come back. Sometimes you get the wrong person. Sometimes you
start off on the wrong foot. Sometimes you catch an employee on the wrong day.
Getting someone with the right personality can make all the difference in the
world. If your conversation isn't getting anjwhere, then hang up, head out, and
try it again some other time.

25. Treat people with respect. No discount is worth burning bridges, ruining
relationships, or making people feel disrespected. In the long run, you are better
off paying a higher price and keeping the good will.

26. Don't take it personally. Maybe you'll get what you want. Maybe you won't.
Life will move on either way. Most people will never have a negotiation that
will make or break their life. Keep it real and don't get emotionally involved.
